by invoking the visuals of "lynching," Trump dog whistles road map to a landslide victory.

Imagine being a minority, angry at Trump for reasons beyond words, yet unable to articular the anger into words. Trump has called the process used against him "lynching."
Will you be more likely to express anger at Trump? How will the anger be depicted now that it's been framed as "lynching?"
Halloween is coming. How many reports of "Trump hanging from a display" will there be?
The news cycle has been easily 90% negative towards Trump from the day he announced running in '15. He had vastly poor polling numbers, yet he won the general election.
Here we are in 2019. What has changed?
